The Pistons had just two assists in the first half and finished with 10 in a 107-83 loss Friday to the Indiana Pacers.

“(We
had) no rhythm whatsoever, and I wish I could point to this or that,”
Pistons coach John Kuester said Saturday night before his team played
the New Jersey Nets for the second time in five days. “The energy that
we had exhibited against New Jersey (on Tuesday), we just didn’t have
it when we played against Indiana for some reason.”

Detroit had 24
assists Tuesday in a win over the Nets and had a season-high 30 assists
in a recent loss to Memphis. But the Pistons are ranked last in the NBA
in assists per game with an average of 17.7.

“That is an area that has been a concern,” Kuester said. “We have sort of been feast or famine in that area as of late.”

Prince's shooting suffersTayshaun
Prince is a career 45.9 percent shooter from the field, but he was
shooting just 39.4 percent in 16 games heading into the game Saturday
night.

Kuester said it’s just a matter of time for Prince to find
his shooting rhythm after he missed 32 games with back and knee
injuries.

Prince made just 2-of-12 shots from the field and scored
10 points Friday night after shooting a combined 45.7 percent
(16-for-35) in his previous three games.

“I think Tay has really
started to come on strong,” Kuester said. “I was surprised that he did
not shoot the ball well (Friday night), because, I’ll tell you this,
every time he’s been shooting it lately, I think he’s been very
comfortable doing it.”
